Dear All

First of all, I am sorry for my ignorance.
I have an PAYG O2 SIM card with UK number which I have been using it for the last 9 years. So it is already worn out and I could not take advantage of 3G features.

I try not to have a new contract or buy a new mobile phone as I already have few mobile phone which have 3G features that I could use.

Is it possible to have a new 3G SIM card with same number with my old SIM card, if so where to start with ?

Any help and suggestion is appreciated.

    Yup, pop into an O2 shop or call customer services and they can replace your SIM free of charge, then you'll most likely have to phone up customer services or go to https://www.o2.co.uk/swapmysim (I'm pretty sure that'll work for PAYG and ignore the bit about micro SIM, it works for any SIM). The SIM swap process can take up to 24 hours, but normally only takes an hour or so at the most.
